Additional information
by Brian W. Kelly (Author)
Ten years ago, when I wrote a book titled Taxation without Representation, in my research, I discovered four great essays by Thomas Dawson that fit the purposes of my book. I included all four essays as separate chapters in the book. Mr. Thomas Dawson was very kind in granting me permission to use his well-written essays in the book and I expressed my appreciation. In the 4th Edition of the book, I could no longer find Dawson's essays at the chronicle.com website which is now defunct. So, I decided that I would release his essays under a separate title rather than bury them in the middle of my book. I wrote Mr. Dawson again and the email did not bounce back but I received no acknowledgment for this recent request.They address areas in which all of us have an interest-immigration, illegal foreign nationals, cheap labor, unions, and greedy corporations. I hope you enjoy these essays as much as I.
